The Vaselines to Tour North America

Scottish twee originals the Vaselines have really maintained their cult over the last two decades. As we reported last week, Sub Pop is gearing up to release pretty much anything the band ever did near a tape recorder as a deluxe two-CD/three-LP set called Enter the Vaselines on May 5.

And now the band is gearing up to tour North America. Even though they played a few American shows last summer, this is still a fairly huge deal, especially given that they'll play relatively small venues. After that quick American trip ends, they'll play the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona.
